Golf With Your Friends is easy to pick up but difficult to master, like all the best party games. The local multiplayer is great for challenging your local friends but being able to challenge any friend who has Game Pass makes it a lot easier to fill a lobby. I did notice that Golf With Your Friends is part of the Game Pass subscription lineup on the Xbox One and it’s available to subscribers day one, some of whom I competed against online. The online gameplay feels a lot like the mobile game known as Golf Battle, only the multiplayer didn’t include a Rush mode from what I could find and it would certainly benefit from one. It gave me solid Cinco de Mayo vibes and the playful nature of the customization options reminded me of the early days of Rocket League. My personal customization choice was a purple golf ball with a sombrero and red candy trail. Online you can choose between several colour options to customize your ball, but like other online mini-golf titles, you can unlock things such as a flashy and colourful trail that follows your ball as you send it careening from course to course (sometimes literally). While I did experience some glitches, most of my mistakes were my own fault, other than on the Worms course which is utter chaos and destruction which will be familiar to Worms fans.Īmazing Stage Design, Struggling Sound Design

While I think that icon shouldn’t disappear without utilizing the free cam, it’s a crucial element for the most complex stages and it’s a feature that seems to go mostly unused by others online so far. This will also let you know which hole you should aim for by showing an icon of the flag. For a limited time on each stage in every course, you can utilize a free camera to navigate the course from an aerial perspective. While these intriguing stage designs occasionally make it hard for me to realize which hole I’m going for, Team17 and Blacklight Interactive have accounted for that.

Haunted includes ghosts as a stage hazard and they will knock your ball into oblivion if you place it in their set path. Some of the course hazards include canons that fire your golf ball to a completely separate area in Pirate Cove and your ball literally needs a jet pack in some of the Worms stages. The courses of Golf With Your Friends are designed in such a way that it wouldn’t be possible to recreate in a real environment.

While I won’t get my hopes too high for Pinball FX level expansion, it is nice that the stage design is so limitless that such things could be possible. Ancient shows Egyptian inspired stages, invoking dreams of an Assassin’s Creed course. Museum’s dinosaur remains made me think about a potential Animal Crossing: New Horizons course where you explore the island, culminating in a Museum course.

With the Space Station course, I thought about what it would be like to see a Halo course that could have reality bending elements similar to the black holes across most of the courses. Realistically I’d like to see all sorts of people collaborate with this game to bring other crazy courses to the game. The unique design with the Worms level (another Team17 IP) showed me the potential map designs that could be added in the future beyond just an Escapist level.

The maps included are Forest, Haunted, Oasis, Space Station, Museum, Pirate Cove, Volcano, Ancient, Twilight, Candy Land, Worms and a taped off course resembling The Escapist series which Team17 also published. Each map is designed very well and each of them offer unique challenges. One course has you delving into a Volcano and another has you lobbing your ball off of candy and chocolate. Team17 and Blacklight Interactive offer over 10 unique golf courses in Golf With Your Friends. Golf With Your Friends Brings Basketball and Hockey to Mini-Putt
